Givenchy Pour Homme Blue Label by Givenchy

Scent:
Opens heavy on the citrus with grapefruit and bergamont. The citrus pervades both opening and drydown. After the opening it melds pepper and cardamon, giving it a little more depth/weight that otherwise would not be there. (This is one of the few fragrances where I enjoy cardamon) Not too much floral, but the wood and pepper definitely give it a dry feel.
6.8/10

Sillage/Projection:
On myself it lasts a few hours and projects a few inches off the skin. Not too loud, but pleasant; which works for this one, it shouldn't be in you face overt (hence the higher score)
8.0/10

Overall: A dry, spicy citrus. It is very similar to Acqua di Gio, but minus the acqua; which is nice if you suffer from a case of non-conformity and want an acqua di gio alternative.
7.4/10

The best perfume I've ever had. It smells gorgeous - I'm on my 4th bottle and it's still a pleasure to use and enjoy :)

An exceptional fragrance. Very fresh. Very clean. A very unique aquatic scent. If you like Acqua di Gio, you will LOVE this. Not many people wear it though. It's a hidden gem. That's the beauty! Only 293 votes on Fragrantica so far. Are you kidding me?! I wore this on my wedding day:)

It smells like a typical aromatic fougére to me, at first (altough it is classified above as woody spicy), but the scent changes as time goes by and it loses its bitterness and becomes spicier, and to me ends up becoming more appealing, although not much. For my taste it is far too bland and stereotyped, and not really pleasant. But that is me.

it's a high end long lasting scent with a great smell

So fresh like a spirit in the morning. Simple, clean, good longevity and has the same flavor from start to finish. The smell reminds me of Eternity Aqua for Man. Unfortunately there is a cheap man spray cologne that smells like this.

Very good one, refreshing,calming,suitable for summer, combines grapefruit with lavender with hints of pepper and cedar...........

supposed to give it just (like) but due to the memories this perfume brings to me, I (love) it, it reminds me of best days of my life

The combination of cedar and grapefruit (or any other citruses) is just wrong to me. I once got it as a gift. Even before opening it, I went to a shop and tried it. Argh! I gave it back and took another fragrance home.

بیش از اندازه سرده
و یکم منو کلافه میکنه
پخش بو خوبه ولی ماندگاریش تعریفی نداره

Givenchy PH Blue Label is one of my favourite´s fragances ever,ingredients are simple but you feel the quality (is a wood based fragance with citrus and spices), how DarkViolet said: "Blue Label: sexy without being arrogant, simple without getting boring".
This can be a good representative of the 2000´s essences, is sophisticated and socially accepted, not strong o intrusive like the 80´s....i don´t know if is a "lady Killer" but when i use, i feel like a gentleman...might not see me so, but I think I smell like a one!!...good memories about this fragance

Smell 9/10 [Grapefruit (not fresh)+Lavender (not like a old school)+pepper (not intrusive) combo!]
Longevity 8/10 (is not a strong smell, remember)
Projection 6/10 (not intrusive,is more like a conversacional/pair distance...spider web like)
Lady Killer Capabilities ? (i don´t know, i´m not a woman!)

longetivity 3/10
smell 8/10

this is the most well-balanced fragrance i've ever smelled. Harmony and simplicity is its synthesis. It can be worn in any place, any time, for any purpose... and will always do well. Projection is very decent, but longevity is poor, that's my only complaint.

This perfume is one a woman shall always remember. A must have for any sexy man...

I have worn this since it came out. Always amazed on how many compliments I get on it! One of the best fragrances out there.

i think i really like it, smells classic

As tired and generic I find this scent, it's not the worst in the category. When I smell I keep thinking of Zenga and their boring aquatics. Atleast the citruses In this one are fresher than most.

Nice "woody?" frag, serious and unique stuff. Recommend it for colder days, not summer!! it will not work.

8/10

Blue Label: sexy without being arrogant, simple without getting boring.

Middle notes and drydown are stunning: I clearly perceive the clean freshness of lavanda surrounded by spices, a pleasant and relaxing accord that preludes to a woody and more masculine base. I'm not particularly in love with its opening, maybe because of the citruses accord which I use to dislike.

Blue Label won't probably be the best scent ever, or the most unique... but it's the kind of fragrance I'd like to smell on a man everytime and everywhere... it owns the simplicity of good things, those you will not probably be surprised by but you could always enjoy.
Definitely and easy-to-wear and clean scent, with a touch of Givenchy's usual class.. most suitable for working, nice for romantic dates too :)

This is a pleasent smell, very inoffensive. The first time I tried the blue label it smelt identical to the red label which I owned previously. It was only after a couple of wears that I began to notice the difference. Both fragrances start off similar however, the drydowns are both different.

To my nose, the red label is a bit sweeter and it maintains that in the dry down whereas with the blue label it starts off sweet but then turns into a mild sour citrusy smell (which I like actually). In fact, the sour citrusy smell kinda gives that impression that one of the notes not mentioned here is vodka or some other alcoholic beverage.

The sour citrus smell reminds me of two other fragrances that I owned; subtle by sf and moon sparkle by escada. There are similar notes in all three but the greatest similarity to me is between the moon sparkle and this one.

The only other note that I detect in this fragrance other than the citrus is lavander. I don't detect any of the spices or the woodsy notes for that matter. It's still early however, maybe after a few more wears I'll notice the other notes.

My only negative comment about blue label is that it's soo sublte that it's projection after about 1-2hrs isn't that good and that's why I'd place red label above this. That withstanding, what it lacks in longevity, it makes up for in scent quality.

On my skin:
Top: Citrus, some sour scent, but not over powering, something spicy creeping out, but its hidden, you will need to really dig in to smell the spice. 1-3 hours mark.

Middle: not much changes from the top notes, the citrus sour scent still lingers around. 2-3 hours. It literally gets close to my skin. I get bad projection from this one even on hot weathers =/

Base: Synthetic vibe on the dry-down, Something flower-sour; I don't know XD. 2-3 hours mark.

Great complements for the first 3 hours, unique, but not special.

Very versatile, I can use this at work out with friends, etc. You can use this when your shopping, going to the mall. But this is not for clubs.

If you are into aquatics, this is a BUY. Unique aquatic scent. But it's a pass for me, I am not an aquatic fan for sure =p

The country I am in has no 4 seasons, so it is either hot or cold weather. This works very well on the hot, under the heat. You can use this at night, but you can barely leave an impression on your date.

My rating (base on 5 stars)

Scent: 3 (unique aquatic, nice scent, but it seems a little common to me, its like a Volkswagen beetle, new concept, but the same ol' design-style...whatever).

Sillage: 3-4 (not offending, sitting quietly when doing nothing, pumps up when you are walking).

Time length: 2 (I get a poor one for this, so it is best to try it on your skin first before purchasing it).

Occasion: 4 (You can use on any occasion. BUT not for parties, you cannot cut through the smoke with this).

Overall base on mathematics: 3 @ 3.25/5

A biggy-looking aquatic bottle that goes on par with Acqua Di Gio. Aquatic fans should check this out, non aquatic fans...just don't bother. I bought it because I like the bottle shape =p

Luckily I found the opened box so I got to test it out. This fragrance was actually fresh and I did not expect this. To me, it's more like a Woody Aromatic, not Woody Spicy because I didn't get anything peppery or spicy at all. The top was kinda juicy and it got drier as it smoothly moved to the middle and the base. The base was woody that was actually crisp clean and light. Nonetheless, I don't find it special enough to make a purchase because I already have few fragrances that smells similar (hint hint: Paul Smith Extreme) and the price is a little bit on the expensive side. For now, it remains in my "next purchase" and "recommend" lists.

Hi.

It is quite a Refreshing scent,Fresh but Nice,Clean but Cute.It doesnt smell cheap,A truly Young scent which can not be Offensive.

In the begining GBL is really Grapefruity on my skin,Then it turns lavender As The mix both to create a Scent perfect for the SPRING&SUMMER days.The base notes is just Clean and Light.The bottle is stylish too.

A Subtle fragrance,can be worn to the Office as well as for everyday. Nonetheless This cologne Not Unique and you can always find a cold fragrances like this Specially if you are a Collector!

SILLAGE&LONGEVITY?Average for me.

6.5/10

I love smelling this cologne! I love it so much that I almost wish I could wear it, and I'm a girl. Instead, I ended up buying it for my brother on his birthday, and get to enjoy smelling it around the house. He likes it a lot too, which is a relief considering how most perfumes trigger his allergies or are just too strong for him.

There is something just so addictive about it, about all Givenchy perfumes, really. This cologne is so lemony, clean, and fresh, but definitely does not smell cheap. It is also not a harsh citrus scent, as the lavendar and other notes soften it up quite a bit. For summer, it's perfect, as it is not cloying at all, and leaves a beautiful scent trail. It's a really great light, casual scent that's perfect for day to day wear.

starts off citrusy,bot not too citrusy, then lavender and the nutmeg notes combo accord shows up and it all mellows down to a soft and calm woody base. pleasant smell, but not my thing.

Boys listen, this is sexy! It's so fresh and masculine, young and clean! It's for the never-grow-ups. The best summer scent ever! Go buy a bottle! :)

Blue Label is a very fresh and pleasant perfume but since it came out there are a lot of cheap "clones" around. Im not sure if Im gonna buy it again, though i love the smell...Im looking for something more special.

Dis is a classic... miles away from my destination and peeps sense I'm around. Outstanding!!!

It is a good scent for any occasion. It is not too light nor too strong. It has a sweet and sour feel to it. Its dry down is very similar to acqua di gio's. However, the advantage this one has over acqua di gio is that its fruit notes are stronger, hence giving a a slightly sweeter smell. I personally prefer this over acqua di gio on my skin.

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it. Even though I still have a completely full bottle :) Givenchy, you please me so, I never want to see you go. If you do my soul will die, no grandma will ever make another pie. Neo. Lol.

This is an extremely fresh cologne. The grapefruit and bergamot hit hard in the top notes. The variety of base notes are nicely balanced and not overpowering. Not to mention the lavender and pepper is amazing in it as well. I do not find this to be spicy at all though, just like Chanel Allure Sport EDT even though they are considered spicy.

A lot of us say that this is is generic, boring, simple, etc. which I think isn't entirely true. I do find this to remind of a lot of other colognes, but I think Blue Label tops the generic genre.

It really does come down to the overall quality and chemistry Givenchy put into Blue Label. I am convinced Givenchy intended for this to be one of their casual, fresh colognes we can enjoy during the day time or a nice all occasion type. Nothing serious, just good ol' clean.

Longevity is pretty good. Not the longest lasting cologne I own but I'm always running in and out at work so I do understand it's struggle to stay on me, haha.

The bottle is pretty cool. It's extremely big and it towers all my other bottles. The spritzer is pretty cool too. It gives mini shots so that you don't spray on too much, which I like.

With all that said. It's another great cologne from the house of Givenchy. Givenchy is awesome and dominating the department stores right now. Keep doing what you do Givenchy. ;)

Easily the best suited cologne for any environment. I have had this cologne since 2005 and I still wear it about 3-4 days a month. I have always gotten compliments wearing it in all types of situations whether it be a formal dinner, to just relaxing at home with a girl on the couch. This one will never come out of my collection.

Nothing spicy about this one IMO.On the test strip it smells kinda nice but on my skin it's lemony, extremely sour and then there's Acqua di Gio ( or Aqva Marine) dry down. That's it.

This is my first new fragrance purchase in many, many years; however it will not be my last. I am planning on expanding my fragrance position and knowledge.

Although this is my “first” fragrance purchase in quite some time, I am not a novice when it comes to distinguishing various nuances of odors/smells (trained in various olfactory detection, which is long story but gives me enough information [I feel] to participate here).

I would agree with other reviews that the fragrance begins with a grapefruit/bergamot infusion with a slight lavender noise; however it seems to change quickly to be a less “fruity” fragrance by losing the grapefruit note. It becomes a woody, yet very fresh, fragrance.

I was surprised to find the fragrance very attractive, and although the grapefruit noise is lost quickly it seems to remain is a slight undertone that allows the fragrance to be more “fresh” than other “woody” fragrances.

I enjoy the lack of musk in this fragrance. It allows the fragrance to be worn in a variety of situations including summer business meetings, winter family gatherings, and perhaps spring and fall casual outings.

i loves this one it's so spicy and worm really good for the winter

A creation of packaging all the components of the Earth, such as rice, flowers. The basic components of grapefruit and peppers give the fragrance strongly, at a time of dirt and Aromas Cedarwood Vetiver add richness and the smell of
Perfume is a special flavor

great and awesome fresh scent for all mans and for a sexy summer BRAVO AGAIN MR ERMENIDIS

nice!

hmm... first i liked it - the bottle is great but the fragrance in it?! hm...

the start is very fruity - only note i smell is lemon... fresh lemon... after time i think its a little bit too strong = synthetic... and after it comes something i dont really like - maybe the combination of notes - or it isnt compatible with my skin - its a bit sour... but doesnt last long... and then its ok!

my boyfriend uses this one during summer, it is very fresh, bergamot and cardamon, a little spicy, a little woody, lasts long. I think it is very beautiful and underrated. Not everyone can stand heavy masculine fragrances.

it's 2 simple for my taste :D I had it, but i won't buy it again. It's a fresh fragrance and good for every day... but nothing special... and doesn't have any elegants in his way! But i like that it's a long lasting, a powerful one!

It gives a unique fresh smell,
and really noticing females attracted to it,
but it is boring for the long term,

It has the spicy smell and heavy,
and kills the bad smell,

i especially love to wear it with a white shirt. Very elegan.

Givenchy Blue Label starts out with a beautiful Grapefruit-Bergamot-Lavender accord, and the Grapefruit is a little bit fruity. Cardamom enhanced pepper joins in right away to spice it up. No musks or amber in the base keeps it fresh throughout the duration.

A woody incense-like accord is what is left after the first hour, and it holds on for 4 to 5 hours total on me. Sillage is average. Nice for business or daytime casual wear.

A very awesome scent. Love it when a boy wearing it comes close. Mom like it too. Bought it for ma bro. Sweet fresh and relaxing. Refreshes in the hot summer days.

A great scent for summer. Nice and crisp, with a little spicy undertone. Perfect for day to day use. Not strong enough for a long sweaty night though.
